Smart Tag
1.
Sometimes referred to as Action Tags, Microsoft Smart Tags are
a way of creating actions that are associated with certain words or phrases
within Microsoft Word (2003 and 2007), Microsoft Excel (2003 and 2007), and
Internet Explorer 6. For example, when Smart Tags are enabled in a document,
Word may recognize certain phrases (such as names or dates) and will
indicate the availability of a smart tag by marking the phrase with a purple
dotted underline. Moving the mouse over the underlined phrase and clicking
the Smart Tag Actions button (as shown in the icon to the right) will allow
anyone using the document to choose an action to be performed from the menu
that opens. The actions could include anything from adding a name to your
contact list to scheduling a meeting.
Today, these Smart Tags are no longer used and have been completely removed from Microsoft Office 2010.
How to enable and adjust Smart Tags settings
